The slender Sanus VLT16 mount holds your TV a scant 7/8" from the wall, great for installations where you want ot keep the mounting depth to a minimum. An innovative Virtual Axis™ system lets you tilt your TV forward for optimal viewing, despite its closeness to the wall. The VLT16 can support a TV with a screen size of up to 80", and a weight of up to 125 lbs.

Mount your large TV close to your wall

The slender Sanus VLT16 mount holds your TV a scant 7/8" from the wall, great for installations where you want ot keep the mounting depth to a minimum. An innovative Virtual Axis™ system lets you tilt your TV forward for optimal viewing, despite its closeness to the wall. The VLT16 can support a TV with a screen size of up to 80", and a weight of up to 125 lbs.

The mount's brackets can easily be shifted to the right or left, in case the wall studs are a little off-center. You can also make small adjustments after the mount is affixed to the wall to level it, or even change the height. And the handy ClickStand at the bottom of each vertical brace swings out to prop your mounted TV away from the wall, to make cable hookup a breeze — without removing the TV from the mount.

Average Review:

Great product, very sturdy, installs easily and the adjustments work well. My only criticism is that the tilt adjustment is very hard to reach once the TV is installed. Also, if you have a bundle of cables to hide behind the TV this is probably not the mount for you.

ClickStand Technology: ClickStand technology holds the TV away
from the wall for easy cable access without having to remove the TV from the
mount.

VESA Mount Bolt Pattern: The VLT16's TV bracket consists of
two vertical brackets with multiple slots that can accommodate a vertical hole
spacing of 100mm-400mm on back of your TV. The vertical brackets slide along the
VLT16's horizontally-mounted wall bracket, accommodating a horizontal hole
spacing of 25mm-750mm on back of your television. The Sanus VLT16 comes with M4,
M6, and M8 size bolts of differing lengths to mount the bracket to your TV.
Given the mounting bracket's range of motion, it will accommodate the following
VESA hole patterns in accordance with industry standards set by the Video
Electronics Standards Association:

200mm x 200mm

300mm x 300mm

400mm x 300mm

400mm x 400mm

500mm x 300mm

600mm x 400mm

Note: Additional hardware may be required for your specific
model of TV. For example; shorter or longer screws, thicker or slimmer
washers or spacers. These additional accessories can often be found at your
local hardware store.

16" or 24" OC: The VLT16's wall plate must be mounted
to wall studs or anchored to a brick, block, or concrete wall using the supplied
lag bolts (and wall-anchors). The slots in the wall plate can accommodate a
variety of stud spacing, allowing you to easily mount the VLT16 to wall studs
that are 16" or 24" on center.

Installation Tools: The following tools are recommended for
mounting the VLT16:

Tape measure

Stud finder

Level

Drill

1/8" Drill bit (for wood studs)

5/16" Drill bit (for masonry)

7/16" Socket wrench

Q & A

Customer Q&A

Crutchfield askedWhy did you buy this?

Have a very challenging install because the TV in the conference room needs to be mounted over a window. This appears to be the only format that will work.
[ Daniel May 06, 2018 ]

We have a "behind the wall" cable configuration however the plug-in connector boxes were located in the middle of the mounting area. This makes most of the TV mount systems unusable for us as they mount "across" our connector boxes. We're hopeful this mount will work as it appears to have one main support bracket that will bolt to studs, and be located, above our connector boxes. We have our fingers crossed.
[ James May 31, 2017 ]

Super thin projection from wall
[ Robert May 02, 2017 ]

I CHOOSE SANUS BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS BRAND, AND I TRUST CRUTCHFIELD I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING THEIR CATALOG FOR OVER 20 YEARS.SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO MAKE AND ORDER,I DID NOT TRUST THE INTERNET,BUT NOW I WILL BE BUYING FROM CRUTCHFIELD FROM NOW ON.
[ CARTER Mar 21, 2017 ]

I recently moved into a new house, and will mount the TV above a fireplace. The TV will be mounted higher than I would like, and have decided that it might be best to have the ability to tilt downward slightly.
[ Ronald Mar 20, 2017 ]

I was advised that this would allow me to wall mount my tv
[ JOHN D Jan 30, 2017 ]

It appears this mount will work for me to mount the panel above the fireplace. I liked the ability to adjust this mount.
[ PATRICK Dec 12, 2016 ]

Low profile.
[ Patrick J. Dec 08, 2016 ]

Needed a mount which sticks out less from the wall. I purchased a different Sanus and then realized it's not the best for my application
[ V Dec 04, 2016 ]

Slick, compact but rugged
[ Rammesh Nov 21, 2016 ]

Low profile mount
[ LeRoy Jul 11, 2016 ]

Recommended by my advisor.
[ John Mar 17, 2016 ]

Typically in my TV installs I like to use Sanus flat mounts due to the thin design. In this situation I needed a tilting mount, so I went with Sanus because I have been pleased with the product and this unit is very low-profile as well, only 7/8"
[ Nicholas Jan 15, 2016 ]

Needed to mount TV on wall. This mount wound up being rubbish compared to my old Sanus I used to have for my plasma. Flimsy, hard to adjust, can't reach knobs, (an orangutan may be able to reach behind and adjust the tension knobs).
